- Abstract
Larval mortality with growth and pupation rates of Himalopsyche acharai were compared between standing and flowing water in a laboratory from June to November 2004. In flowing water, 90% of larvae started pupal case building and 81.5% of them developed to pupae by October. In standing water, 92.6% died before pupation. The larvae reared in flowing water grew significantly faster than those in standing water. These results show why Himalopsyche acharai does not inhabit pools and slowly flowing streams.
